If you want custom work, but don't want to go the route of an independent.  VC has a program where you can order a watch custom to your specs.  It can be as basic as commissioning an existing watch design but with a differnet dial, or commissioning them too make a completely customized watch to your specs...limited only buy your imagination and wallet.  They will not customize an existing watch...you have to order the watch brand new with the agreed upon customization. 

i remember when they came out with that. awesome program.

regarding your first point,

im not big into independents. but if i was insanely wealthy, and into independents, i dont think resale would be a concern. only concern would be if i wanted to have it or not. unfortunately, i am not insanely wealthy at present.

I love Laurent Ferrier, absolutely gorgeous. 'Dem hands...
But I have read that they are really large, which is a pity, to say the least. Have you looked at Moser?

Veronica? Worth a look.

If insanely wealthy, then yes not a big deal.

As a lawyer I've seen very wealthy people go from very wealthy to not so wealthy and need $$$ in a hurry. They start selling everything they can sell. A bad business deal + serious illness can change things drastically for people.
But thats a depressing prospect so lets get back to fun and watches!

yes, back to happy fun time with watches. i have always liked this.

who makes the strap on your calatrava?

 

[bboysdontcryy]

That strap came with the Calatrava -- came with watches that were purchased about 7-8 years ago. The custom ones are on the IWC and the Jaeger.

Have a dark green beaver tail and another hornback in the works.

Better photos of your Calatrava strap?

 

[bboysdontcryy]

I was already lazy to upload photos. Ha. But when I get down to it, I'll take photos.

*Am travelling now so the watch is not with me.
